-Caveat Lector-
USA TODAY yesterday reported that if this is a RECOVERY
why arent there any jobs being created. AMR the parent
company of American Airlines reported that during the
last quarter ( April-May-June ) that American Airlines
has been losing $250,000 an HOUR.
The United States is a totally bankrupt nation. This one
is considerably worse than March 1933. The debt is now
6.11 TRILLION and counting. This amount is MANY TIMES
OVER the ENTIRE M1 MONEY SUPPLY. In other words there
is not enough money in circulation to pay the debt.
It's a hopeless situation. If the Secret Government
doesnt officially declare bankruptcy and create a new
monetary system at once , then you will see a wholesale
breakdown of society. What will occur then will be
like some of Mel Gibson's early MAD MAX movies. If
you can recall those.
One option is to START PRINTING MONEY. That will lead
to total chaos. I'm sure the Secret Government is
considering that option. If that starts occurring
you need to get all of your money into real assets.
Immediately. Recall the days prior to the French
Revolution in 1789. And in WEIMAR GERMANY just
prior to Hitler. It took 100,000 Reichsmarks to
purchase a package of chewing gum.

Markets hope the worst is over
A morning bounce in Asia has given investors heart
Share prices around the world have steadied, amid mounting hopes that two
months of sharp declines may be over.
Japan's Nikkei share index closed up 2% at 10,498 points, leading Asia
higher, after Wall Street stocks closed up on Wednesday.

US shares had surged at one point, but the froth came off by the end of the
day - a sign that the mood is still uncertain.
Now, all eyes are on the long list of US corporate results due later in the
day.
US results have been mixed so far, but analysts take comfort from the fact
that investors are starting to pay attention to fundamentals, and may be
shrugging off the gloomy mood of the past few weeks.
Results roster
The main dampener on the market is now the fear that Thursday's earnings
statements will disappoint investors.
Until corporate America cleans up its act or earnings get better, this looks
like a technical bounce
James Volk, DA Davidson
Some of America's biggest hi-tech firms are scheduled to report results,
including Microsoft, eBay, Nortel Networks and Sun Microsystems.
On Wednesday, investors faced a more mixed bag, including Citigroup, Ford,
Boeing, Coca-Cola and IBM.
Although the news was far from uniformly positive, results from Ford,
Coca-Cola and IBM were all cheering.
Companies count
Optimists hope that company results could generally send out a positive
signal, reminding investors that share prices are based on corporate
earnings first and foremost.
Could things be starting to look up?
While the mood in the market has darkened, economic fundamentals have
remained more or less favourable, and companies have tended to report solid
trading conditions.
The markets' somewhat muted response to Wednesday's results - the Dow Jones
index closing just 0.7% higher at 8,534.17 points - was based on the lack of
trust in corporate accounts since the Enron collapse, however.
"Until people get their courage back, until corporate America cleans up its
act or earnings get better, this looks like a technical bounce, and
technical bounces have not had any legs in the past," said James Volk of DA
Davidson.
Two months of misery
Major stock markets around the world have now lost up to one-quarter of
their value since the recent peak in mid-May.
Many have plumbed depths well below those hit after 11 September: the FTSE
100 index, for example, has hit lows not seen since the end of 1996.
After 11 September, all major markets plunged, but recovered sharply towards
the end of the year before treading water in the first quarter of 2001.
The recent sharp declines - sparked by the admission that telecom giant
Worldcom had exaggerated its profits - have caused consternation among
policymakers and consumers alike.
Falling share prices generally lead consumers to cut spending, epecially in
the US, and could push the global economy back towards the recession it
flirted with late last year.
